How Medicine Hat faced the Financially Fit plan
Medicine Hat moved to reduce reliance on energy profits with the Financially Fit for the Future plan. The city borrowed from the Gas Depletion and Electric Facility funds, raised taxes, closed the arena, and sought a one year wage freeze to close a multi million-dollar gap. By 2019 to 2022 the goal was cutting the gap to 3 million, with a new utility charge defeated by council.
